A Wiki is a web page (or a collection of web pages) that anyone can edit right in their browser. Some wikis even allow you to restrict who can edit, or who can even see certain pages. Most of us are familiar with the Wikipedia which is an online encyclopedia that anyone can edit, but you can also create and edit your own wikis.
We've done a run-through of wikipsaces in class. If you haven't figured it out or would like more information about this learning environment, watch the video tour here.We will learn more about wiki as the course progresses, right now we will only focus on the technical part of wiki and make sure we know how to use it in this class.
Also, click on your name at the top right of the page, select the Settings tab, change your User Name to your First.Last name (e.g., Tintin Luo)
